Korean Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong

So, this made the news lately: South Korean presenter ruins her looks with drastic jaw surgery. Apparently, she had reshaped her jaw into a pointy, dainty-looking one that looks eerily similar to a sailor moon character’s jawline. It’s even more peculiar when you look at the eyes of anime characters and then look to your average Asian girl's "big eye" contact lenses and double-lidded eyes! Makes you wonder, why is Korean eye surgery so popular and where did its influence come from-- anime, western beauty ideals or the age-old Asian cultural beliefs? Maybe it’s a combination.

(If you have no idea what a ‘sailor-moon’ anime character jawline looks like, look below!):

This is how the unnamed reporter looks, according to the Huffington Post:

Do you think she looks better now, or is there another lesson to be learned here? Is this another case of Korean plastic surgery gone wrong once again? Leave a comment below, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Omg she was beautiful before and looks like a crack head now! None of we Caucasians have pointy jaws and that ridiculous surprised look. Why oh why destroy what you had. You can never go back now. And I bet you will want to in years to come! Silly girl :(

This was clearly a result of sliding genioplasty, which – when done by an unskilled doctor – can lead to an overly narrow chin that looks like a spade. The bone was cut too wide which makes it look like part of her lower jaw has come forward. Also, the nose job caused her upper lip to fall down. However – saying all that – she seems happy with the results.

It looks bad, but I wonder how much of her bone is even there any more… what if she had a minor car crash, and her jaw bumped the steering wheel and blew into a million pieces because the remaining bone was so over sculpted?
